Awful pets. With the exception of burms, I'd never reccomend a giant snake such as a conda or retic. And burms are only for people who are serious.

I'm a strong supporter of keeping captive populations of large pythons under control. For the same reasons as the one you stated. People dump them.

Greens ae super vicous, and hard to keep...

If you'd like an anaconda, try a yellow Those sure are nice.
